G                 G7 
Adios, I heard me callin' 
C                    C7 
And I felt my spirit fallin' 
G                    G7             D 
'Til the warm desert wind picked me up 
G                 G7 
I've been lost in all four corners 
C                    C7 
Drifted over California 
G                      D 
Leavin' shadows on the ground 
G  C   G 
Like clouds above 

##second verse the same way 
On my way through Arizona 
I began to pinin' for you 
Red rocks run the road beside me along my way 
Just like me they like to travel 
Won't sit still less than I do 
I can't sit still 'til I get me back to you 

 
Bb                      
Pick me up like some hitchhiker 
Bb                            D 
Let me ride into the wild and blue 
Bb                      
I don't care which way I'm goin' 
C                                   D 
Long as that's the way you're goin' too 
Bb                    C                  G 
I am the man with the travelin' teardrop blues 

Angel wakes up on the mesa 
In the air she makes her face up 
With the pain of some red warrior in her eyes 
In the dark behind a curtain 
On a bed of lust I loved her 
While she slept I left a tear to say good-bye 

Chorus 

Bb                    C                  G 
I am the man with the travelin' teardrop blues
